A Meditation From Can We Talk About Faith?

So finding a comfortable posture,

Whatever will support you in being present,

Upright,

Attentive to this moment,

Locating the body,

How does your body feel right now?

Sensing into the body,

Sitting,

Standing,

Lying down,

Maybe you're walking.

The weightedness of the body,

The heaviness of the body connected to the earth.

And then the breath,

The breath in the body.

The body breathing,

Just attending to each breath with curiosity and kindness.

And then just beginning to drop in a few inquiries.

So what do you know right now?

What's true for you about this practice?

And what is good for you in this practice?

What leads you forward?

What leads you onward?

What keeps you coming back?

And what inspires you about the practice?

What brings a smile to your lips and a warmth to your heart?

And if faith has other meanings for you,

How do those meanings and these meanings work together,

Complement each other,

Bring you more into the moment,

More into your life and more able to love others?
